NRB Bearings BUY
HDFC securities Institutional Research is also available on Bloomberg HSLB <GO>& Thomson Reuters
Ready to take offNRB Bearings (NRB) is the largest manufacturer of needle roller bearings in India, with ~70% segmental market share. With 65% revenue coming in from domestic OEMs, NRB is expected to be a key beneficiary of robust growth in the automobile sector. With an increased emphasis on weight reduction in vehicles and lower space utilisation, applications for needle roller bearings are increasing. NRB has globally competent technology, and ~20% of its revenue stems from exports.
We expect revenue CAGR at 12% and PAT CAGR at 23% over FY17-FY19E. This is owing to growth in the domestic automotive sector, incremental revenue from the Defence, Aerospace and Railway segments (aggregate ~Rs 600mn by FY19E) and a revival in exports. We assign a BUY rating to the stock, with a target price of Rs 161 (22x FY19E EPS).
Key highlights
Well-diversified revenue stream: NRB caters to
almost all the segments in the automobile sector viz.
2W (30%), CV (28%), PV (15%) and farm/off-highway
(10%). OEMs contribute ~65% to NRB’s topline. The
company’s client portfolio is well-diversified, with the
average contribution of any customer not exceeding
~10% of revenue.
Leadership in needle roller bearings: NRB commands
~70% share in the organised needle roller bearing
market. Owing to its compact size, these bearings are
the preferred choice for applications like steering
systems, gear boxes, front axles, engines etc. With
the increasing use of automation in 4Ws and the
need to make engines, transmissions and steering
lighter and more compact, we expect demand to
increase in the medium term.
Improved export outlook: NRB exports to global
OEMs like Renault Volvo and Daimler Trucks. After a
period of strong growth (~27% CAGR over FY12-15),
exports fell 16% in FY16. However, the outlook has
improved in the last six months with a revival in PV
and CV sales in Europe and USA, and the addition of
two new clients (Meritor and Detroit).
Strong margin profile: The company has a strong
EBITDA margin (avg 18% in the last five years) and
RoE (20%), on the back high-margin customised
products (needle-roller bearings account for 42% of
sales).

Well-diversified revenue stream NRB is expected to be a key beneficiary of robust
growth in the automobile sector, with the domestic
OEM segment accounting for 65% of its revenue.
Despite demonetisation, this sector posted 6% YoY
growth in FY17 at ~26mn units, led by 2Ws, PVS (cars
and UV) and tractors. This trend is likely to accelerate
with the expected rise in per capita income and rural
spending. NRB’s domestic revenue (80% in FY16)
could broadly be broken up into 2W 30%, CV 28%, PV
15%, farm and off Highway 10% and Aftermarket
16%. Exports account for 20% of revenue.
The company has identified needle roller bearings
(42% of revenue in FY16) as its focus area. These can
bear sizeable radial loads, and operate at a high
speed with moderate vibrations and sound. The
company also manufactures cylindrical bearings,
special tapered roller bearings and special ball
bearings. With a proven track record of over 50 years,
it is the preferred supplier to leading domestic OEMs
such as Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Maruti Suzuki,
Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland, among others.
NRB’s client portfolio is well-diversified, and any
customer’s average contribution to revenue is not
more than ~10%. The top 10 clients’ contribution
stands at ~50% of the top-line. The company also
indicated that the constituents of the top-10 slot
keep changing based on the segmental growth.
Revenue growth in NRB’s auto segment has mimicked
that of overall auto sales volumes historically. For
example, in FY10-12, when overall auto volumes grew
~28/25/14% YoY, respectively, NRB’s revenue grew
~22%/34/17% YoY, respectively. Similarly, when the
automotive segment was facing challenging times
(muted 3% growth in FY16), NRB’s revenue increased
1% YoY in FY16, exhibiting a strong correlation.

Needle roller bearings form ~10% of the Indian auto bearings industry, and NRB has a ~70% market share in this segment. NRB’s key competitor is INA, Germany, of the Schaffeler group. However products are imported, so are more expensive as compared to NRB’s products The company has inherited the technology from its JV with Nadella and by the acquisition of SNL Bearings (which was a JV between INA Germany and Shriram Group). The company also manufactures cylindrical bearings, special tapered roller bearings and special ball bearings. All these are customized products, unlike its peers which derive a sizable portion from standardized products.

Leadership in needle roller bearings NRB commands ~70% share in the organised needle
roller bearing market. Another key player is INA
Bearings, part of the Schaeffler group, Germany.
Needle roller bearings constituted ~42% of NRB’s top-
line in FY16. Being light, this translates into lower
material costs, making them high-margin products.
Another key product in NRB’s stable is the cylindrical
bearing. Needle and cylindrical bearings form ~68%
of NRB’s top-line. Needle roller bearing is a niche
product and is used where the axial or thrust load is
high. Owing to its compact size, the needle roller
bearing is the preferred choice for applications like
steering systems, gear boxes, front axles, engines etc.
With the increased use of electronics and of
automation in 4Ws, and the requirement to make
engines, transmission and steering lighter and more
compact, we expect the use of needle roller bearings
to increase over time.
As NRB prefers working with automotive OEMs from
the product development stage, it has a strong
affiliation with them. The principle advantage of this
is that if selected, NRB is the sole or main supplier for
the first few years (normally five). This helps it in
keeping margins and market share high, and also the
competition at bay.
Advantages of needle roller bearings
Most rolling-element bearings are either ball or roller
bearings. These can be cylindrical, tapered, spherical
or needle bearings. Needle roller bearings are the
smallest and lightest component of the roller bearing
family. A key advantage of these bearings is that
despite these attributes, they are extremely rigid, can
bear high radial loads and operate at elevated
speeds, with moderate vibrations and sound. With an
increased focus on weight reduction and lower space
utilisation, applications for needle roller bearings are
increasing. Key features include:
The surface area of the rollers and the high
number of rolling, load-bearing elements provide
needle roller bearings with exceptional load
capacity and stiffness.
Being thinner, they require less clearance
between the axle and the surrounding structure.
Accurate guidance of these rollers by the cage
bars allows them to operate at high speeds.
Needle bearings are used in critical automobile applications (such as gearbox/transmission system and steering systems), for which the company has laid down stringent control over processes such as heat treatment, grinding, etc. to ensure the quality of bearings Precision is required to make customised bearings. Certain crank pins and needles require micron grades specification in diameters. A small variation in size could lead to rejection. This leads to significant entry barriers for new players. The bearings industry requires high-end technology and technical knowhow.

The ability to handle a larger, more rigid shaft in a
given application.
Excellent rolling characteristics within a small
cross-section.
Needle roller bearings are used in a variety of
applications, such as radial piston pumps, automotive
steering and braking systems, transmissions, engines,
valve trains, copiers, fax machines, outboard engines
and lawn trimmers. These bearings were invaluable in
the development of small, efficient and reasonably-
priced cars. The increasing requirement for needle
roller bearings has led to a considerable expansion of
the product range in just a few years

Revival in key export markets NRB is among the few manufacturers of needle roller
bearings globally (INA, Koyo, Nadella and NSK, among
others). The key reason for NRB’s success in the
overseas market are (1) Working with the customers
from the design stage helps build a rapport and bag
orders, (2) Most OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers are
looking at adding vendors, and there are very few for
needle roller bearings, (3) Cost advantage, (4)
Technology at par with MNCs, (5) High customisation
and willingness to supply smaller batch sizes and (6)
Low turnaround time.
NRB exports to global OEMs like Renault Volvo, VW
and Daimler Trucks. The company also supplies to
Tier-I clients like ZF and Getrag. The association with
global OEMs has helped the company enhance its
engineering capabilities and benchmark its quality to
global standards. The company exports to Europe, US
and Latin America. Europe and US together
contribute ~65% to the total export revenue.
After a period of strong growth (~27% CAGR over
FY12-15), exports fell 16% in FY16, owing to a
slowdown in Europe and fall in the Euro-INR
exchange rate. The company has major clients in the
European region including Renault, Volvo, Daimler
Trucks and Audi. Large global OEMs were circumspect
about on-boarding new suppliers.
Global OEMs were also reviewing their procurement
policies in the wake of emission-related violations by
Volkswagen. Consequently, the company was unable
to expand its customer base in FY16. However, the
situation has improved in the last six months, with a
revival in key markets and the addition of new clients
like Meritor and Detroit.
Management indicated that it plans to expand its
geographical presence as well as client base to
mitigate its dependence on Europe and US. NRB also
exports to the ASEAN region, with a special focus on
Sri Lanka and Nepal. The company is making inroads
into Iran, given the growing demand in the region.
We believe these initiatives would help NRB diversify
its client base and market for exports.
Going ahead, we expect NRB’s export revenue to
grow at 12% CAGR over FY17-19E.
To expand its footprint and foray into new platforms, NRB is focussing on exports, wherein it caters to global players such as Daimler Trucks, Renault, Volvo and Getrag Europe and US together contribute ~65% to the total export revenue NRB also exports to the ASEAN region, with special focus on Srilanka and Nepal

Turn around in subsidiaries
NRB has three subsidiaries, two of which are overseas in Thailand and Europe. The company has acquired a majority stake in SNL Bearings to access INA’s technology.
The company has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Thailand to provide bearings to Japanese and Korean automotive OEMs. In FY15, NRB set up another wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany, with a view to increase exports to Europe. This subsidiary provides marketing and customer support services to clients.
SNL Bearings (SNL): SNL (earlier known as Shriram Needle Bearings), was a JV between INA and the Shriram group. In 2000, NRB acquired a 45% stake in the company, which it gradually increased to 73.5%.
SNL also manufactures needle roller bearings at Ranchi. This company was acquired mainly to consolidate its technical and mechanical expertise, given that the products of both companies are similar. NRB has turned SNL around in five years, and now it enjoys a strong EBITDA margin of 25% to 30%.
NRB Bearings Thailand (NBT): In the initial years, this subsidiary was only involved in the trading of goods, and was making losses until FY16. Today, however, manufacturing activity is increasing, and contributes 40% to revenue. New business deals are being finalised with European and Japanese customers. The introduction of new products in the market, as well as enhanced production of needle roller bearings helped the company to turn profitable in FY17.

Railways, Aerospace and Defence: Poised For The Next Big Leap
After Automotive, the Railways stands as the second-largest sector in the country. With the focus on increasing safety in trains, the modernisation and expansion of the railway’s rolling stock/locomotives, an increasing number of fast trains and track kilometres, introduction of high-speed trains, and the DFC (Dedicated Freight Corridor) project, along with the expansion of the metro train network to a number of cities are all expected to drive demand for bearings by a double-digit CAGR in the next few years. Defence and Aerospace are also gaining strong traction, owing to the government’s Make In India initiatives.
The company is looking at the Defence, Aerospace and Railway segments as sources of incremental revenue (aggregate ~Rs. 600mn by FY19E).
Risks Corporate guarantee to group company (NIBL)
NRB Industrial Bearings Ltd (NIBL) was demerged from NRB Bearings in October 2012. NRB Bearings is being managed by Harshbeena Zaveri, and NIBL by her brother, Devesh Sahney. The demerger agreement mandates NRB Bearings to cater to the Automobile segment, and NIBL to the Industry segment. However, on the expiry of the demerger agreement (was valid till 2016), there will be no such restrictions for either company. Related party transactions suggest that NRB Bearings has provided guarantees to NIBL of Rs 263mn and an inter-corporate deposit of Rs 90.7mn. NIBL has been continually making losses.
Forex risk may impact financial performance
Exports constitute a significant portion of NRB’s business (~20% of revenue in FY16). The company also imports certain raw materials and spares (~23% of total requirement). Apart from this the company has Rs ~600 mn debt in foreign currency
The company is looking to procure incremental revenue from the Defence, Marine and Railway segments (aggregate ~Rs. 600mn by FY19E) Railway, which contributes only 1 % ( Rs.70mn) to overall revenue, is expected to touch Rs. 200mn by FY19 Another Rs. 400 mn would be contributed by Aerospace (Rs. 50mn) and Defence (Rs. 350mn) Imports of a key raw material from Europe and Japan - stand at 23%,

In terms of types of bearings, ball bearings comprise 48% of the total bearings while roller bearings form the remaining 52%. Within roller bearings, tapered, cylindrical, spherical and needle form 42%, 29%, 17% and 9-10%, respectively.
India is amongst the fastest growing markets for bearings. Close to 40% of the total demand is fulfilled via imports, with the balance being met by indigenous products.
Ball bearing contribution is ~50%

35% to 40% of demand met through official imports
Out of total estimated market size of Rs 90bn, official imports of bearings by leading multinational players from their respective overseas parent stand at 30%-35% of total imports. Imports by other non-listed and smaller players contribute 5% to 10% to total imports. For leading multinational players, these imports form a part of traded goods for revenue classification. They enjoy lower margins, but high RoCE. Over the last few years, an equivalent amount of imports of low-end and small-sized bearings, mainly for automotive applications from Asian countries, especially China, have increased significantly.
Ball bearing is the largest category of imported bearings and occupies over 50% share in total imports of bearings. Following slowing demand in the developed markets of US and Europe, cheap imports from China and other South–East Asian countries exerted pressure on Indian suppliers, leading them to price their products lower. They are proving to be a big threat for the domestic bearing industry, as many customers opt for cheaper imported bearings. A ready supply chain and strong focus on reducing costs, minimising waste and increasing efficiency of operations are effective ways to counter the same.

Revenue to record 12% CAGR over FY17-19E
We estimate revenue to grow at 12% CAGR over FY17-19E. This is likely to be driven by a domestic and export revenue CAGR of 12%. Growth in the domestic automobile industry will be the key determinant of the company’s performance.
EBITDA margin to remain at ~16.5-17%
NRB’s operating margin (18% average in the last five years) is higher than its peers, owing to its superior
product mix comprising higher-margin customised products (42% of sales are from needle-roller bearings), absence of revenue from low-margin traded goods and integrated manufacturing (right from designing to production, in-house R&D which helps save money on royalty payments and trademark fees, and a higher share of exports in revenue). Although margins in the last two years declined by 150-200 bps to 16.5% owing to a fall in exports, we expect them to move up hereon , led by an improvement in operating leverage and revival in exports.
Revenue To Grow At 12% CAGR Over FY17-19E EBITDA Margin To Remain At 16.5-17%
Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research
Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research
With the auto industry finally showing signs of a recovery after nearly two years of a demand slump, we estimate revenue to grow at 12% CAGR over FY17-19E.
NRB is expected to be a key beneficiary of robust automobile growth, incremental revenue from the Defence, Marine and Railway segments, and a revival in exports.
The key reasons for the co having a better EBITDA margin than peers is comprising higher-margin customised products (42% of sales are from needle-roller bearings) and absence of low-margin traded goods We expect the company’s interest costs to recede, given the reduction in debt levels

Debt and Interest Expenses To Go Down ROE And ROCE To Improve In Next Two Years
Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research
PAT to grow at 23% CAGR over FY17-19E
We estimate PAT to grow at 23% CAGR over FY17-19E to Rs 709mn, against a decline over FY13-FY16. This will be led by revenue CAGR of 12% and stable average EBITDA margin at 17%, given the improvement in operating leverage. Debt repayment and no large borrowings in the absence of major capex, coupled with the fall in interest rates, are likely to augur well for PAT growth. As a result, ROE and ROCE are expected to increase to 19%/ 13% by FY19E from 16%/ 9% in FY16, respectively.
NRB’s ROCE is lower than peers, despite better operating margins, as the company has lower asset turnover (absence of traded revenues) and higher working capital requirements.
The reason for high working capital requirements are: 1) Lower sales from the aftermarket business 2) Company maintains a large number of SKUs (as high as 2.5x the nearest competitor) 3) NRB has more
customised bearings, and the exports business requires maintaining inventory at warehouses in different geographies 4) Working capital higher owing to revenue mix, absence of trading revenue and higher SKUs
FCF generation to improve, going ahead
Strong topline growth, coupled with an improvement in margins, is expected to boost the operating cash flow for NRB, going ahead. The company expects capex requirement of ~Rs 400 to 500mn every year over FY17-19E. Consequently, we expect NRB to generate an FCF of ~Rs 400 mn each year over FY17-19E. The strong FCF is also expected to be a key driver for a reduction in debt-equity.
Going ahead, given the strong cash flow generation on the back of impressive topline growth and margin improvement, we expect NRB’s net debt-to-equity to come down to 0.4x by FY19E.
An improvement in operating leverage, debt repayment and no large borrowing in the absence of major capex, coupled with the fall in interest rates are likely to augur well for PAT growth NRB has a higher net working capital compared to its peers, (mainly on account of a smaller after-sales segment), higher exports (warrants inventory levels in various geographies) and higher number of SKUs Average capex will be ~ 400-500mn, including capacity addition and new product development
